Berry'S Hybrid Hp Handgun Bullets .380 Cal .356" 100 Gr Hhp 1000/Ct
The Berry's Hybrid HP .380 ACP handgun bullets deliver dependable performance for target practice, training, and defensive loads. These .356" 100-grain hollow points combine a swaged lead core with copper-plated construction, giving you a proven platform for consistent reloading. The Hybrid design merges two hollow-point concepts to balance penetration, expansion, and accuracy—qualities that matter whether you're working up loads for a compact carry gun or stocking ammunition for regular range work.
Built for precision handloading, these .380 caliber bullets maintain excellent weight retention through impact, typically retaining 98 percent or better. When loaded to the recommended velocity window of 875–975 fps, they penetrate 11" to 13" in ballistic gelatin, a depth suitable for most defensive and practice applications. The 1000-count box gives you plenty of bullets to develop loads, test accuracy, or maintain a steady supply for high-volume shooting.
Reloaders appreciate Berry's consistency run-to-run, and the Hybrid HP's bonded construction resists jacket separation during expansion. These bullets work well in compact .380 pistols where velocity is naturally moderate, and they're straightforward to seat using standard .380 ACP reloading dies and procedures. Whether you're handloading for personal defense, match training, or just keeping your carry gun fed affordably, these bullets are a solid choice for shooters who demand reliability and accuracy.

Yes. The .356" diameter and standard .380 ACP specifications make these bullets compatible with any standard .380 reloading setup. The SAAMI max cartridge overall length is .984", so you can reference that for your load data and seating depth.
What velocity should I load these to?
Berry's recommends loading these Hybrid HP bullets to 875–975 fps. Staying within that window gives you the penetration and expansion characteristics the design was engineered for. Always consult published load data for your specific powder and primer combination.
Are these suitable for self-defense loads?
The Hybrid hollow-point design, bonded construction, and 98% weight retention support defensive use. However, always verify that your finished loads comply with local laws and the specifications of your specific firearm. Test them thoroughly at the range before relying on any handload for defense.
How many bullets come in a box?
Each box contains 1000 bullets, ideal for reloaders who shoot frequently or want to minimize reordering.
